I got a very disturbing phone call by this phone # claiming that I took out a personal loan back in 2013 for $1100. (I've never taken out a personal loan). They asked my to verify my last 4 digits of my SSN and my address (They had the incorrect address which they asked to update their records and I refused.) they asked to verify my last name. (Which changed because I got married) and my email address was partially incorrect. I replied that I would not verify information until they told me who THEY were. Finally they disclosed that they were Johnson & Johnson a firm that assisting with a courtesy call to let me know that criminal charges have been field against me. And that notices were sent to the address they had in file and that they could not mail anything else out to me after 3 attempts. I asked how am o supposed to resolve this if I don't have something in writing? The caller replied that it could be resolved by me paying 50 cents on the dollar for what I supposedly owed. I said I am absolutely not payoff cent for something I NEVER borrowed! The caller them advised that she will close the case and that I need to get a criminal attorney because there will be a warrant for my arrest. And hung up! SHE WAS SO NASTY, RUDE, AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I called my husband so upset. And decided to look up this phone number. I came across these posts. It's most DEFINITELY a scam.
Theyve been calling me saying there is a serious legal matter tied to my ssc number i must call them back this call is very time sensitive yeah right. There going to tell me i owe them money and they will tell me im going to pay them over the phone only bull crap. I dont ever pay anyone over the phone its never a good idea.
Don't block them. Log each call with number, date, and time. Make sure you are on the Do Not Call List. Let the calls build up and then sue them for $1,500.00 per call.
Mary Price, they have to send you a debt validation notice through the United States Post Office. An emailed notice is not acceptable. Read the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. It is in plain writing. A legitimate debt collector will adhere to the law and would know that the debt has to be validated in writing using the US Post office.
